Stephen and I have an ongoing discussion about the type of tree in our front yard, walnut or hickory? Neighbors say walnut. My mom says hickory. I think its hickory, but hope its walnut. Stephen has said walnut from day one. Any arborists out there?

I tried to keep my upper kitchen walls without cabinets. Its the new look. But, I was afraid it might not appeal to a buyer in a few years, so I compromised with half the wall without cabinets. The wall, that would now be visible, was a mess. Here’s the bottom part. You can just see how bad the top of the counter is.
